Copulatory plugs in snakes: enforced chastity.

M C Devine.   

Abstract

The male of some snake species forms a copulatory plug which occludes the oviductal parts of the female's cloaca for a few days. The plug, apparently formed from secretions of the kidney immediately after insemination, probably prevents rival males from copulating with the same female.
